Chapter 467: 149 Age Dao Method, Celestial Immortal Body Refinement Technique (10K Monthly Tickets Requested) _3
Especially after Su Yu made Taixu retreat and close its doors.
Time passed, and two more years went by in a flash.
One morning.
Su Yu left Da Yu Peak. Luo Qianyu and other four, namely Taoist Qingquan, Kong Yun, and Jiang Meng, had left for the Immortal Gate the day before, continuing their patrol duties in the outer mansion familiarizing themselves with the area.
Now, after Su Yu arrived at the administrative hall and perused the list of daily tasks, he picked one that was about tidying up the scripture hall for half a year.
He had been with the Earth Immortal Mansion for ten years and hadn’t visited its scripture hall. This was a good opportunity to do so.
“Uncle Master, this is the task token, please take it,” said one of the disciples at the administrative hall as he respectfully handed over the token.
“Thank you.”
Su Yu thanked them, smiled, and turned to leave.
The Scripture Hall was not located within the administrative headquarters building, but it was also situated on the main peak. After leaving the administrative hall, in just a few moments, Su Yu saw a magnificent single-story building that covered a wide area.
His task to tidy up the Scripture Hall was a relaxed one, merely putting back all the scriptures borrowed and returned by the disciples and elders in their original locations.
Also, the usual dusting off of the Scripture Hall.
In his spare time, he could read books in the Scripture Hall and familiarize himself with the classics of Taoism and ancient books left by his predecessors.
It took him less than an hour to finish his tasks for the day.
Su Yu then started paging through the vast collection of ancient books in the Scripture Hall. The hall was large taking up a vast area. Even though it was only a single-story building, one could not see the end of the bookshelves which were filled with an endless number of books.
It would be quite a challenge to read all these books.
At one corner of the Scripture Hall.
Su Yu picked up an ancient book made of animal skin from the bookshelf. He opened it and found that the title read: “Records of the Undisclosed Events in the Earth Immortal Mansion”.
“Undisclosed records?”
Su Yu was intrigued and continued reading. It turned out that the book recorded several major incidents that had happened in the Earth Immortal Mansion in the past. One of them was about a Nascent Soul True Monarch elder who had transformed into a demon years ago. During a catastrophic demon invasion, the Earth Immortal Mansion suffered heavy losses.
Another incident was about how a city of immortals within the Earth Immortal Mansion, called the Hell Prison Immortal City, was once breached. The city was located at the extreme west of the Earth Immortal Mansion.
The Hell Prison Immortal City bordered a perilous zone called the Stone Jar Demon Ridge, which houses several powerful Demon Clan beings.
The city was a fortress for the Earth Immortal Mansion to resist the invasion of the Demon Clan from the Stone Jar Demon Ridge.
The Nascent Soul True Monarch Elder who used to guard the Hell Prison Immortal City once built a black prison inside the city to suppress the demons that harmed the humans from the Demon Ridge and tortured them to death.
And then—
The demons from the Stone Jar Demon Ridge launched a massive assault, breaching the Hell Prison Immortal City.
The Nascent Soul True Monarch Elder was killed in combat.
All the disciples and elders of the Earth Immortal Mansion stationed in the Hell Prison Immortal City were also killed.
Later, one third of the Earth Immortal Mansion’s eighteen peaks rose to action and marched into the Stone Jar Demon Ridge.
“In the Stone Jar battle, the heavens and the earth fell apart, two of the Earth Immortal Mansion’s incarnations worked together to infiltrate a Demon Clan hidden domain, continuing for nine days, making the Stone Jar Demon Ridge dark and stormy…”
“When the Earth Immortal Mansion left the Stone Jar Demon Ridge, the ground of the Ridge was flowing with rivers of blood, the demonic beasts were almost extinct, and the Demon Clan hid for a hundred years and dared not show their faces.”
Having finished reading this undisclosed record, Su Yu seemed slightly absentminded.
Was this the Earth Immortal Mansion?
They were indeed brutal!
After a city of the Earth Immortal Mansion was breached by the Demon Clan, the Mansion directly marched into the demon’s nest!
One battle led to the demons of the Ridge experiencing a heaven and earth-shattering disaster and rivers flowing with blood!
After a moment of silence, Su Yu put down the book in his hand and thought to himself, “As intimidating as it sounds, it is good in a way, to make people or the Demon Clan wary of it, making them less likely to provoke any trouble.”
Afterward, he picked up the next book, which was also about the Earth Immortal Mansion.
Time slowly passed.
In the scripture hall, Su Yu read books at an extremely fast speed. A large amount of knowledge about the Earth Immortal Mansion and the regional territories of the cultivation world of Daqian was known to him. Many secrets were also revealed from the books.
Although not all records in the books were true, at least after reading those books, he had a new understanding of the cultivation world of Daqian.
Over four months later, one day.
As Su Yu was dusting off an old book, he suddenly noticed a dust-covered ancient book. After cleaning off the dust, he looked at the title of the book and was suddenly taken aback.
“A Scroll of Heavenly Immortal?”
He opened the old book and saw that it was not filled with words, but a picture.
It depicted something similar to a cicada pupa.
There were two sentences beside it: “The cicada sleeps for three winters and summers, to be reborn as a youth in the human world.”
At first glance, there was nothing extraordinary about this scroll, making one wonder if it was just a picture of a cicada pupa casually drawn by a cultivator.
But when Su Yu looked closely at the picture, he suddenly felt as if the scenes before his eyes changed, with spring coming and autumn leaving.
A cicada pupa was always hiding beneath the soil, unaffected by the passing of time in the world above.
As Su Yu gazed at the scroll, his Golden Cicada method involuntarily activated. A dazzling golden light illuminated his body, his mind became clear and spiritual images began to appear continuously.
“Boom!”
At one point, a loud bang rang out in Su Yu’s mind, and a large amount of inheritance information suddenly emerged.
Meanwhile, the cicada pupa on the picture in front of Su Yu faded and eventually disappeared.
Some time later, Su Yu came back to his senses.
He had acquired a new understanding of the divine method called “Cicada Pupa” in his mind.
Feeling the resonance of this method, Su Yu’s eyes contracted in shock, he thought to himself, “Can it transform into a cicada pupa and gain insight into the laws of life, slowing down the passage of life?”
